Mountain Springs Recovery

I had a great experience at Mountain Springs. I even liked the food! No complaints about the accommodations. Loved the program and the activities they kept everyone engaged beyond the groups. I’ve honestly missed being there

I have had the fortunate/unfortunate opportunity to go to treatment centers for the past couple of years. I can definitely say, that as far as running a business dealing with people that have a crazy vast array of different emotions and backgrounds, that they do a great job of trying to deal with the ups and downs that come with the industry. Let alone, if you are looking for a balance of good therapy groups, mixed with the freedom to learn to integrate back to society. You are able to use your electronics including phones, which is VERY useful in preparing for all aspects of sober life, such as creating lasting friendships that you can lean on for years, to finding new housing or job hunting. There are good, bad, and in between reviews about this facility and company, but if pay attention at all, you will leave there looking at life through a positive lens, rather than a stress filled existence (which is a main factor of mental health or substance abuse in the first place). So if you are doing your research, (and you should), I would highly consider Mountain Springs, keep on open mind, and pay attention!! I have seen so many people say ‘I’m only staying 30 days!’ And then they want to stay 90 days because of the atmosphere in general. And every single day your brain is chemically allowed to heal itself, is a day closer to living a sober and fulfilled life. And that’s the goal right? Good luck!

The staff over all is very accommodating. The living conditions were actively improving as I was there. The freedoms were very nice. Classes are about 6 hours a day. Two leaders worked hard to help you know how to apply in real life. The other group leaders have room for improvement. The “providers” are nice but it is challenging to get into a psychiatrist. The only reason I removed one star is because sometimes communication between all of the different groups that work together there is a breakdown and miscommunication, which can cause some stress for clients. I do think they are aware and are actively trying to improve this. I think this is a great place if you want a two week break and to brush up on your mental health. Each weekend there are multiple field trips and there are even animals that come to visit the campus once a week. They are accommodating on diets the best that they can. I never saw them not working on something to try to improve the campus so I think that in itself is a very positive piece. The people who were attend here also add a really positive note to the atmosphere. Most everyone that comes is really here to help themselves and to reenter and ground. It is delightful to be able to be in the mountains and have a beautiful view while recharging.

It was an amazing process. Everyone has there challenges but if you focus on yourself and work the program then the outcome will be so much better. All the staff are incredible and make you feel so seen and cared for! As much as I never want to go back I do want to see everyone there and feel that sense of community again!
